Romantic Restaurants in Tokyo

Tokyo is Japan's capital and the country's largest city, offering residents and tourists thousands of night clubs, restaurants and entertainment venues. The metropolis of Tokyo encompasses 26 other cities, five towns and eight villages, as well as numerous islands that rest in the south of Japan's main island, Honshu.
Even for being a metropolis, Tokyo offers so much more than city lights and busy streets. It's also the home of Nikko National Park, Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi, where visitors can enjoy the outdoors, hiking and fishing. If you are traveling with your partner, a great start would be the Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi Day Cruise, followed by a romantic dinner for two.
